S0merUeU County.
GLEN ROSE, lex, Dec. 1--we have
had splendid rains in this county this fall
which insures good wheat crop. There
is at least 80 per cent. increase in acreage
as compared with last year. The season
has been very favorable and needs but
little more rain to make an abundant
yield. The farmers generally state that
the prospects for large wheat crop have
never been better and they are feeling ju-
bilant over it.
Taylor County.
ABILENE, TEX, Dec. 12-The acre age
OF wheat sown this year in Taylor cot n y
does not exceed the crop planted last fell.
The acreage planted in the year 1886 was
the largest crop ever sown, some 5000
acres being put into the ground, which
was an incre ase Of rs per cent. of former
years. The present crop has had plenty
of rain, and the prospects are most fiatter-
ing for an abundant yield. More rain is
not necessary to mature the crop, and
would have little effect either way. With
the present moisture in the ground, the
wheat crop IN Taylor county is assured.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. l9.-The
average increase in the wheat acreage in
this county Is between so and 33k per
cent. as compared with last year. The
season up to this date, December II, has
been better than for four years past. To
make fair crop more rain is needed in
March or April. Should good rain fall
late in March the yield would be from 25
to 80 bushels per acre, and the quality OF
the grain would be fine.

THRoCKMoRTON, TEX, Dec. 12.-The
condition of the wheat crop in this Sec
ton is indeed very promising, having had
abundance OF rain during the entire fall
and to the present, and it seems that we
are smiled on with good crops generally,
having had plenty of rain and not toe
much. There is larger acreage sown in
wheat this year by st least 100 per cent
than has ever been in this county, and
with few good rains in the spring will
have an abundant yield. Most of the
wheat has to be grszed down as it is
growing so fast, and the fine luxuriant
fields can be seen inside every farm.
